Happy Birthday Treasure Hunt

The gift treasure hunt is  fun for everybody, children and adults. 
Start with a B-day card. 

Inside the card is a note that says (for example):  "Go to the kitchen, look under the toaster."
Under the toaster is another note: "Go to the coat closet.  Look at the inside jacket pocket of your black winter coat." 
In the pocket is another note:  "Go to the front porch.  Look under the mat."
 At each note location, you could also place a candy or a small toy from the Dollar Store or the Target dollar bin.  The gift treasure hunt can take the birthday person all over the house back and forth and outside (weather permitting) and back inside. There can be a couple of stops or many, your choice. 
Eventually, the real present is revealed. 
What's great about the treasure hunt is that it's free and most important, it shows you care enough about this person to focus your time and your creativity on them.
Everybody wins. Have fun!
